**

Usage:** **********

Start an administrator command prompt and navigate to the directory you extracted MacFan.exe to. Run MacFan like this:

Run the program once with no arguments if you need to know how many fans are in your machine
and the minimum and maximum speeds those fans can be set to.

Of course, if you already know the acceptable ranges for your fans you can go ahead and run the program right away with the speeds you desire. For example, to set both fans in a MacBook Pro
to 3000 rpm you would type:

MacFan.exe 3000 3000

For MacPro users, control of the Power Supply Fan is currently not working. Make sure you always pass 0 as the fourth argument in order to not attempt to control the power supply fan.
Passing anything except 0 as the speed for your 4th fan could result in damage to your computer.Proper control of the power supply fan or removal of the 4th argument if it is not possible will be included in the next release. Example of running MacFan on a MacPro:

MacFan.exe 1500 900 2000 0

MacFan does not override Apple's built in temperature controls but simply raises the minimum speeds your fans can spin at.

If your machine gets hot enough that Apple's built in temperature controls want to raise your fan speeds, they should still raise them
to the same speed they would be at otherwise.

************************Upcoming Features:**

**********************

Working MacPro PSU fan control.

Temperature monitoring.

Allowing the user to create rules that will govern automatic fan control.

*****************Change Log:*****************

MacFan 0.1:

Initial release. Supports all non-iMac Intel Macs for manual speed control of each individual fan through command prompt.

MacFan 0.2:

Supports every Intel Mac. MacFan reads fan information directly from the SMC for any computer not found in its internal database. Full functionalityis provided and to guard against incorrect SMC minimum fan speed values as a result of using SMC Fan Control in Mac OS X and rebooting, not shutting down before booting Windows, a warning is displayed if the values seem too high for your computer.

MacFan will now automatically terminate BootCamp.exe, KbdMgr.exe, and everest.exe on startup and restart them upon exit.

MacFan 0.25:

Fixes minor bug that displayed a BootCamp.exe stopped working dialog on Vista when BootCamp 3.0 drivers were installed.

Shortens folder name to make it less of a hassle to run.

MacFan 0.3:

Fixes issue on MacBook Air and regular MacBook that could warn you that the SMC minimum values seem too high for your computer when they are default.

Fixes internal database issue preventing detection of MacPro.

Cleans up code for easier transition from ini file to registry in a future version.
